Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 425 Cuilan Auction (Part 2)

But now, the old stone carving brought out by the Cuilan Chamber of Commerce, which depicts and marks an ancient cave, is suspected to be the greatest place of creation in Kunlun Ruins, and naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

"The starting price is two pieces of Fengyun red gold, or you can bid with supreme divine materials of equal value." The old man on the high platform announced the lowest price for this auction.

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned. Phoenix Cloud Red Gold was a rare and supreme divine material, so rare that even the most powerful Lord-level masters could hardly find it. Who could afford to bid for it? It was probably only the Ninth and Seventh Generation Sovereigns, ancient heroes who had entered Kunlun Ruins many times, who could afford it.

Gu Chi was somewhat tempted. The supreme divine materials of equal value, Autumn Silkworm Gold Silk and Phoenix Cloud Red Gold, were on the same level and could be auctioned.

"I want to know, can the ancient cave depicted and marked on the stone carving be entered directly, or does it require some specific token to open it?" Gu Chi asked.

"We have no way of knowing this. After all, we haven't conducted any on-site investigation." The old man on the platform told the truth.

Hearing this, Gu Chi lost all interest immediately, shook his head, and decisively gave up the bidding.

The other party hadn't even conducted an on-site inspection, yet they were talking so confidently. Who knew if it was true? If it turned out to be just an ordinary cave, wouldn't she have been at a huge loss?

Gu Chi muttered, "It's too expensive. I can't afford the gamble."

Murong Zhixiu said, "Supreme divine materials like this are so hard to come by in the world. Even in the Kunlun Ruins, where opportunities abound, it's not something you can easily find. If I exchange it for a map that's so uncertain, and then end up with only an ordinary cave, I can't accept that kind of blow!"

Li Wangcen said, "If it's true, I guess we need to find the [Nine Heavens Broken Shadow Flower] to open that place of good fortune. If we can't find the key, then getting the map will be useless."

Lian Su, the ancient freak from the Black Lotus Altar, also did not make any statement. He had another supreme divine material on him, but like Gu Chi, he would not give it up to buy uncertain news.

As for the others, they could not hide the disappointment on their faces at this moment. They simply could not produce Fengyun Red Gold or other supreme divine materials of equal value to bid.

In the end, the ancient stone carving was not sold at auction.

"It's okay. We will keep this thing. When you come back when you are fully prepared, it will still appear at our auction." The elderly man on the podium said with a smile.

Finally, he added, "However, the next time it is put up for auction, its lowest price will be raised to three pieces of Phoenix Cloud Red Gold.

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but want to curse. Just for a map that couldn't even determine what was in the final destination, they wanted three pieces of Fengyun red gold. Did they really think they were being taken advantage of?

"How wicked!" Murong Zhixiu curled his lips, thinking to himself, "One day I'll get a map of the ancient cave, saying that the Ninth Generation Lord once found a heaven-defying divine treasure in it. It's very likely the greatest place of fortune in Kunlun Ruins. Let's see if there are any fools who will fall for it!"

At this point in the Cuilan Chamber of Commerce's auction, only two rare treasures were left, and they were now being presented on the podium by two beautiful girls.

They are a jade box and a jade jar, both are crystal clear.

Inside the jade jar, you can see liquid that looks like nectar. When the lid of the jar is opened, a refreshing fragrance immediately spreads out, refreshing your heart.

"This is the water from the Fountain of Youth. Although its effect in prolonging life is not as good as that of a magic medicine, it can keep people young forever." The elderly man on the platform introduced.

These words immediately caused a sensation, especially among the female monks present. When they heard the words "eternal youth", they could no longer remain calm.

As a cultivator, when one is young, one's energy and blood are at their peak, and one's appearance can be maintained at the age of seventeen or eighteen, or twenty-three or twenty-four. However, each realm has a corresponding lifespan. When the lifespan is nearing its end, if one cannot break through to a higher realm and has no magic medicine to prolong life, one will eventually age.

Even if you can cast a spell to return to your youthful appearance, it is ultimately just an illusion that deceives yourself.

What woman doesn’t want to stay young forever, with a youthful appearance and always look young?

However, Gu Chi was not too impressed by this. She had an immortality system and was already immortal. There was no need for her to rely on the fountain of youth to preserve her youthful appearance.

Gu Chi pinched his jaw and muttered to himself, "I can bid for it. When I return to Qian Country one day, I can take it back and give it to Senior Sister Hua Xin and the others. I think they will like it too."

Then, the beautiful girl on the high platform opened the jade box, and suddenly a brilliant auspicious color gushed out. It was a fern-like magical herb.

"This is the regeneration grass. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is still half a breath left, after taking this grass, you can rebuild your body, reunite your soul, and come back to life!" The old man on the platform introduced loudly.

Gu Chi knew this elixir. Except that it could not increase one's cultivation level or prolong one's life, its medicinal properties were basically the same as those of a magic medicine. It could bring people back to life and save them from a near-death state.

Those elders of the Yi clan who had been following Gu Chi like a piece of plaster all came over.

"Young friend, you seem very interested in the Fountain of Youth?"

"Do I even need to ask? My friend, you are so beautiful, like a fairy. If one day your face ages due to the end of your life, wouldn't that be a pity? I must bid for this water from the Fountain of Youth!"

"That's that."

Several old men sang in unison, making Gu Chi laugh and cry.

"Let's see how the bidding is going first. I don't necessarily need your help."

An old man chuckled, then his lips moved as if he was conveying a message.

Gu Chi noticed that the old man who was in charge of the auction on the high platform glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "There is no reserve price for the water of the fountain of youth and the regeneration grass. All you need is a bracelet, a ring, and a hairpin."

"..."

The auction site was silent for three or four seconds, and then it exploded into an uproar.

"No reserve price. Just a bracelet, a ring, and a hairpin? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Could it be that these natives of the Cuilan Chamber of Commerce have a change of heart and are no longer planning to cheat us?"

People were talking about it, and Gu Chi was stunned on the spot.

Bracelets, rings, hairpins, these things were all found by her at the bottom of the abyss at that time. They were all relics left there by Xuan Zhu in the past. Could it really be such a coincidence?

"Bracelets, rings and hairpins, right? I can order people to send a hundred carts over right now!" Someone shouted loudly and impatiently, fearing that the people from Cuilan Chamber of Commerce would go back on their word.
